Abstract: The methods of literature, interviews, questionnaire survey and field investigations are adopted in the paper to investigate the influence of relocation after the earthquake on the Qiang people. The research shows that the relocation causes major changes to the Qiang people's traditional sports culture. In view of these changes, the paper puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions of reconstructing these people’s cultural space, improving their living standards and taking advantage of the relocation policy to inherit their sports culture.

Key words: different settlement, Qiang people's traditional sports culture, rheology, inheritance
